A drone: a carbon-fibre or moulded plastic frame carrying electric motors, batteries and the flight computer. An agricultural drone: carbon-fibre tube arms on a cast aluminium centre, with composite tanks.

The public federal record on N553XS, read the way a buyer, lender or insurer reads it: FAA registration, prior tail numbers keyed on the serial number, reuse of the tail number, recent registry filings, and the NTSB accident record under this and every earlier registration.
